Judgment on Moab

¹ The ^(F1)oracle concerning ^(C1)Moab.

Surely in a night ^(C2)Ar of Moab is devastated and ruined;
Surely in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined.

² They have gone up to the ^(F1)temple and to ^(C1)Dibon, even to the high places to weep.
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba;
Everyone's head is ^(C2)bald and every beard is cut off.

³ In their streets they have girded themselves with ^(C1)sackcloth;
^(C2)On their housetops and in their squares
Everyone is wailing, ^(F1)(C3)dissolved in tears.

^4 (C1)Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out,
Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;
Therefore the ^(F1)armed men of Moab cry aloud;
His soul trembles within him.

⁵ My heart cries out for Moab;
His fugitives are as far as ^(C1)Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,
For they go up the ^(C2)ascent of Luhith weeping;
Surely on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress ^(C3)over their ruin.

⁶ For the ^(C1)waters of Nimrim are ^(F1)desolate.
Surely the grass is withered, the tender grass ^(F2)died out,
There is ^(C2)no green thing.

⁷ Therefore the ^(C1)abundance which they have acquired and stored up
They carry off over the brook of ^(F1)Arabim.

⁸ For the cry of distress has gone around the territory of Moab,
Its wail goes as far as Eglaim and its wailing even to Beer-elim.

⁹ For the waters of Dimon are full of ^(F1)blood;
Surely I will bring added woes upon Dimon,
A ^(C1)lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
